Title: Radiation system with inner and outer gantry, to enable precise positioning when rotating the inner gantry
Inventor: NAEFSTADIUS PEDER
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A radiation machine incorporating a diagnostic imaging system is disclosed. The invention provides a very stable design of the machine by supporting an inner gantry part, including a treatment and diagnostic radiation source and detector, by an outer gantry part at two support locations situated at opposite sides of a treatment volume in a patient to be irradiated. This stable gantry design provides a high rotation speed of the inner gantry part relative the outer gantry part around the target volume, which speed is adapted for the high resolution imaging system. Based on the obtained images, changes and developments in tumor tissue and misplacement of patient may be detected. The images may be compared to a reference image to detect any anatomical or spatial difference therebetween. Based on this comparison the settings of the radiation machine may be adapted accordingly.

Inventor: BOTTOMLEY ANDREW MICHAEL
IPC: H03K17/687
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: A method and system for sampling an analog signal that minimizes perturbations caused by noise. In one embodiment, the sample and hold circuit includes a plurality of switches (32, 40) in series between the sampled source (59) and a hold capacitor (48). A resistor (46) is located in parallel with the first switch (32). The two switches are controlled so as to provide three signal paths between the hold capacitor (48) and the sampled signal. The first signal path is a closed circuit between the charge capacitor (48) and the sampled signal. This path occurs during a first phase of operation for the sample and hold circuit. During a second phase of operation, the first switch (32) is opened which sends any current loss from the capacitor (48) to path through the resistor (46). The high resistance provided by the resistor (46) minimizes this current loss. The third signal path occurs when the second switch (40) is opened which present an open circuit between the capacitor (48) and the sampled signal. During the transition from the second phase to the third phase, any current loss due to noise passes through the resistor (46) and thus minimizes the voltage loss across the hold capacitor (48). Another embodiment of the sample and hold circuit only operates between a first and a second phase.

Abstract: The present invention provides structures of small molecules capable of modulating apoptotic cell death. More specifically, the structures relate to the structures of apoptotic active sites of mammalian alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin. Peptides mimicking the active site contain two sequences, Arg-Gly-Asp and Asp-X-X-Asp, wherein X means any amino acid. These sequences are needed in the same molecule for causing a wide range of biological activities. The peptides can be utilized to suppress apoptotic pathways by inhibiting the cytochrome c-mediated caspase activation. Thus, the peptides can be used to inhibit effects of apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, drugs, cytokines, Fas-ligand, alpha-fetoprotein, used to prevent apoptosis in culturing cells, in organ transplantation, in immunological autoimmune disorders and immunodeficiency syndrome induced by viral infection, or to diminish side cytotoxic effects after chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Abstract: A method of scoring Oestrogen and Progesterone Receptors expression (ER and PR) from histological images determines the percentage of brown image blob area in total blob area and derives percentage thresholds to quantify scoring. Brown blob area proportion is then compared with the thresholds to provide a first contribution to scoring of ER or PR. The number of relatively dark pixels is then counted, pixel number thresholds are determined to quantify scoring, and the number of relatively dark pixels is compared with the thresholds to provide a second contribution scoring of ER or PR. The two contributions are then added to provide an overall scoring in the range 0 to 8 which may be taken as a final score or it may be scaled to a conventional range 0 to 3.
